Neil;
This might help, it might not. I don't have code handy for forms, but
here's how you do it with links. Perhaps you can adapt this to work with
forms and if you get it, post back to the list.
1. Spawn the new window with a link like this:
<A HREF="Javascript:open_window('window.cfm');">Open window</A>
2. In window.cfm, use the following JS code in the HEAD block:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
function windowManager(url) {
window.parent.opener.location = url;
window.parent.close();
}
</SCRIPT>
3. Also in the spawned window.cfm, put this code which will load
the value of the HREF in the original window and close the spawned
window:
<A HREF="javascript:windowManager('newfile.cfm')">New page in original
window, close this one.</A>

I am not worried about form field access. I am more worried about
posting back to that original page and closing the current window (hence
the
window.close())
Is there a target attribute?
Thanks,
Neil
